I spent all afternoon boiling my new hemp in blue dawn and DH washed the diapers in Dreft...what do I do now? Most of the load was organic cotton and hemp. Thanks

Just do a cycle in your CD detergent. One cycle in a "bad" detergent isn't going to ruin your dipes

What Dr. L said. Also, throw the Dreft out. That stuff is nastier than any other detergent out there.

Thanks, I put ran them through another wash cycle with a couple of extra rinses and I am sure they are fine. I don't know why we even have the draft, it was in some far back corner so I don't know what possessed him to use it.

Yup.  This stuff is marketing evil.

 What's the deal with Dreft?

It's full of added fragrances and chemicals that aren't good for baby skin.  It's really terrible for CDs as it can cause build-up, stink, and rash issues if used repeatedly.
